   For almost all compression algorithms (both lossless and lossy), only the decompression is specified. A compressor can do whatever it wants as long as it produces a bitstream that a compliant decompressor can decode. For example, you can ma

   I'll copy from Twitter[1]: @zackbloom @jgrahamc I can't find it in the docs on AWS site, but I've read that AWS Lambda scales CPU linearly until 1.5GB, then gives you 2nd thread/core and again scales linearly until 3GB.

   The core of the sun is 15 million Kelvin [1]. The surface temperature of the sun is approximately 5,778 K (5,505 °C, 9,941 °F) [2]. I can guess what the insane pressure means ("estimated at 265 billion bar (3.84 trillion psi or 26.5 pe

    This is only re: your last sentence. It won't, solid rockets are inherently limited in their safety (for the reasons you pointed out), fuel efficiency and ability to be rapidly reused. The fuel efficiency will never be that of kerolox,

    Wasting billions of dollars trying to prevent a few astronauts from dying, while that money spent on saving lives more efficiently could have saved thousands of lives, is called "statistical murder". https://reason.com&
